Realizing that I have now lost just as much as the people I looked up to when I first joined MFP!! <3

Wow amazing!!

Have a read about the benefits of dandelion leaf tea :)

No one can tell you if you are going to have loose skin or not. Its just like stretch marks, some people get them, some don't. :)

I use the mpf app, I rarely use the website, and it only goes back 3 months with no option for weekly. Its not detailed at all.

5'10 here! My partner is 6'2 and would eat bacon all day everyday if he could.

As I see it the 5:2 is for weight loss reasons. I'm not talking about a "true" fast.

Agreed. I've seen many people say it doesn't work for that exact reason.

Just starting out, feel free to add me also! :wink:

Thanks guys. Glad to see some really constructive comments. Mostly positive, which is great. I'm at the point were I've been counting calories for almost a year.. Im very much in control of my eating now. I think if I were to attempt this a year ago I would be setting myself up to fail tremendously. I plan to eat at a very…

Usually for me the scale goes up about 1.5 -2kg (yes KG!) around that time, it takes about a week after if finishes to go back down.

Have to agree with the person who said PB2. I wanted to like it. I really did. I've gone back to it a few times and NOPE. Still cant do it. It's too weird. :s

Add meeeeeeee! :smiley:

At least once a week that old fat debs calls out to go on a big binge fest. But then the new smaller debs tells that wench to shut the hell up get back in it's corner. :smile:

Why fight it? Just have some chocolate and include it into your daily calories :-)

I spend more time on here than I do on facebook now these days. Definitely helps to keep me motivated.

Ohhh great idea!

Cocoa powder + Frozen bananas + Blender = Chocolate banana icecream.

My dairy is full of repeat meals because A) I like them and B) I know their caloric worth off by heart. I wouldn't call any of my foods "safe" I just know how to use portion control :smile:

Hummus and veggie sticks are what I have if I'm still hungry and have little cals left.

I'm almost out of the 20's club will be 30 in October! :sad: :sad: :sad:

A loss is a loss, no matter how small, and you should consider that a great achievement.

Good challenge. I've done 40 days with no fastfood (subway once or twice). I feel better without it. Yeah.. watch out for the highly opinionated, If we think you're saying something wrong we will jump down your throat nazi's. Yes I could go to MacDonald's and eat half my daily allowance there, but I would feel like crap…

My guess is A) She has some rare metabolic disorder or B) She's kidding herself over her calorie intake. OR C) She eats little for a few days, then eats way more other days. (this was me) I would eat very little for a period of 4 -5 days then BAM - High calorie binge fest. Looking back I had no idea just how many calories…

Great Work!

Definitely helps to have friends on here :-) Feel free to add me.

I think fasting the day before probably is where you went wrong. If you had cut 400cals from the day before, ate at maintenance the day of the wedding, then cut 400cals from the day after you would have had plenty of calories to work with.

Yup. I check everything, I'm not too worried over sodium, I know I don't go over very often, but I always check the calories, carbs, protein and fat. I actually wonder if some people enter in values that are false on purpose....
